Thanks, we are going tomorrow!

Probably 30-40 feet viz, nice blue water, tons of life all over the place. There where small clear / white jellies in the water at all depths. I am not sure what they are but I was just in a tshirt and swim shorts and no way I completely avoided them but never felt a sting on a 65 minute dive. We didn't go under either bridge just stayed out south of the beach.

Saw a. Few things we have no idea what they are. One is this thing. Not a great pic. It was on the bottom sucking in sand in its mouth I assume.

Thanks for the nice report!!

1 Upsidedown Jellyfish

2 Sea Cucumber

3 Grunts--lots of'em

4 North American Bubblefish with shopping cart in foreground

The smallish jellys you saw might be Comb Jellys--we saw some last week. Force E on Blue Heron has an open copy of Reef Fish ID as well as the other books in the series. All are worthwhile to own....Walmart online has a couple of them for little bucks.

Look to the left of the Cucumber--that must be the butt end as there are some cucumber turds nearby.

Are you going tomorrow? Thanks again for your report!!

the 2nd might be possible for me -- nights at the bridge during the week are near impossible to do -- work for some reason frowns on cutting out early...

We had the best viz of 2013 today at the bridge! Around 45-50 ft. Lots of sightings from nudi's to eagle rays. We are going again tomorrow!! Water temp still 82F..........Even the Force E instructors were doing fun dives! It was still pretty clear after the tide changed!
